In his play The Tragedy of Macbeth, Shakespeare explores the sinister rise and fall of a Scottish noble driven by an indefatigable quest for power. As the main character’s world implodes around him, Shakespeare, in the tragic hero’s final soliloquy, utilizes a serious of literary devices—alliteration, repetition, and metaphor—to manifest to the reader the palpable disillusionment felt by the Macbeth as he prepares to confront his imminent death.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
BY ROBERT FROST Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. Post Stopping by the Woods.....OWP....reflect upon the mood and purpose of the poem.
